That's telling us.

Relax.

Go back to inner balance and calm.

Go back to the heart.

Breathe.

Almost every technique is in just mind.

It also includes breathing.

What we're saying, breathe at a six-second rhythm into the area of the heart.

I mean, sorry, 10-second rhythm.

In through the area of the heart, out through the area of the heart, about five in, five out, that six breaths a minute about.

And that creates that smooth flow.

But to sustain it, that coherent rhythm, we have to have an elevated emotion or a positive feeling or attitude.

That's why we say appreciation or gratitude is the easiest thing to shift into.

But compassion, care, kindness, any of those genuinely felt will bring your heart rhythms into that coherence and sustain it with a carryover effect.

That has lasted six hours in terms of the immune and hormonal response.

On the other hand...

Five minutes of letting ourselves feel anger and rehash the thing that drives that stress response depresses the immune system for six hours.

Yes.

Great question.

And it gives a lot of hope to people when they hear this.
